Greener Pasture

For the past couple of weeks, I've tried for a different venture in my life. Something that I never thought I would be doing. I applied to a corporate company. They say that it's hard to get in to this company because of certain standard of qualifications that a candidate must possess. And only 6-10 percent out of every 100 are making through the next process. Luckily, I got the job offer after 3 nerve racking interviews and 5 days free training. The company's name is CONVERGYS and I see a corporate ladder on it. Anyone has the chance to climb it. For those who want to have a career, I believe this is not a bad place to be at. For us nurses who are living in a third world country instead of working in hospitals, a lot would try a different path. A path where there is a greener pasture. Of course, you may refuse to believe that but In this type of governance, nurses are underpaid. No wonder why most Filipino nurses dream of going to foreign countries. A place where they have to leave and be far away from their families. In contrary to what most feel, they just simply have no other choice but to deal and take the hits. It's what makes us tougher and stronger and not many people see that. Sure other countries may have a better land however, I believe that it's not fair for us to achieve a good compensation outside of our turf but it's just a mere fact. And call centers have given filipinos hope. Hope to have not only a better compensation to support their families but also to have an opportunity to be recognized and make it despite of government's economic crisis.

So here i am in the shoe where they all gone through. Who knows where this path will take me.
